Why are retired people hurt by inflation?      

History
1 answer:
Vadim26 [7]3 years ago
6 0
If you are retired, you do not have a source of income from a job--you rely on your savings, interest from investments, or the government (e.g., social security in the US). With a job, your salary typically increases every so often to track inflation. When you just have savings, the total value of your money stays the same while the purchasing power of that money decreases. Investment income on your savings (e.g., interest) counterbalances this effect somewhat and government programs typically give out more money to account for the effects of inflation, but neither of these counterbalancing measures may prove sufficient.

Two effects of the gold rush ?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

poverty and disease

Explanation:

due to the gold rush, many people travelled west to dig for gold. they made pop up towns  which had no laws or healthcare. this created a lot of disease as when they were travelling west, most medications and resources would have been thrown away to make their carriages lighter so the horses could carry their weight after a long time.

poverty was also a major factor as not many people would actually find gold so they'd end up working for bigger companies to find gold and would get paid barely anything.  

I hope that was helpful, friend :)

Knowing what you now know about the major difference between Republicans and Democrats, which one is correct? Or is the answer s
ad-work [718]

Answer: I would simply agree with Democrats, and here is my reasons to support it! Republicans value "Lowering taxes" but they are lowering it for the rich, which is stupid for the Middle class citizen who work there butts off to provide for there family, and taxes constantly going up for them. 2nd reason is, this world, A climate crisis and it only seems like Democratic leaders tend to care about this situation more then republican leaders, It's always a fight between science and politics, especially with Republican leaders. This could just be Extremely bias, and especially because of how this president has acted, and taken away basic rights.
